879 – Lure The Enemy, Wait For The Prey To Fall In
TL: BluVerse
Among this group of young people, a woman stepped forward. She was relatively older than the others, and after sizing up Lan Xuanyu, she smiled and said, “Hey handsome, don’t speak so old-fashioned. You don’t look that old. Since you’ve caught us, do whatever you want, whether it’s beating or killing. I’m Nangong Ling, also known as the Celestial Star God.”
Nangong Ling’s appearance was considered above average, and she exuded a noble temperament that ordinary girls didn’t have. However, it wasn’t an arrogant feeling. She always had a smile on her face, and her gaze at Lan Xuanyu clearly showed genuine interest.
Lan Xuanyu asked, “Are you the leader here?”
Nangong Ling replied, “Sort of. Our original captain was killed by this beautiful lady, so I guess I’m the leader now.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Alright. We won’t kill you all. I believe this spaceship is meaningful to you. Next, I need your cooperation in our actions. If you perform well, when we leave this Chaos Star Field, we can return this warship to you.”
“You don’t want our warship?” Nangong Ling was surprised.
They had spent a considerable price to build this warship. It was challenging to purchase Douluo World coins with the federal coins in the real world. In theory, it was possible to exchange, but someone had to be willing. The Douluo World had long become the most important entertainment for the federal people. Who would be willing to exchange? Therefore, in the black market, the exchange rate for Douluo coins was very high.
Although they were a group of wealthy second-generation individuals, accumulating this warship had cost them a considerable amount. They had thought that with such an indestructible warship, they could dominate even in the Chaos Star Field. They had consulted tactical experts and devised a strategy of waiting for the enemy to come to them.

In their view, once the warship was captured by the other party, it was unlikely they would get it back. They were feeling distressed. Just now, they were discussing privately whether they could directly offer federal currency to the other party and redeem the warship.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lan Xuanyu spoke, he said they didn’t want their warship. How could this not make this group of wealthy second-generation individuals excited? Being able to keep the warship, the previous loss of life was nothing.
“Hey handsome little brother, do you have any other special requests?” Nangong Ling asked Lan Xuanyu with a smile.
“Only one, obey orders and follow commands. Later, you all need to fully obey my orders and execute them. If you can do that and achieve the operational objectives for our visit, the warship will be returned to you,” Lan Xuanyu said.
Lan Xuanyu didn’t fancy this warship. He could see that it had cost a significant amount, but it wasn’t the type they liked. The defense and energy reserves of this turtle-shell-like warship were astonishing, but it was too slow and cumbersome. Once facing a strong enemy, they couldn’t unleash their combat power and could only passively endure attacks.
Undoubtedly, these wealthy second-generation individuals had created this thing out of fear of death. But to give it to 33 Skywings was impractical. It couldn’t meet their control requirements.
“Alright, it’s settled then. However, we want to establish a contract in the Douluo World to prevent you from going back on your word,” Nangong Ling said, proposing her condition.
“Sure,” Lan Xuanyu agreed without hesitation.
Seeing his quick agreement, Nangong Ling showed a pleased expression. “Handsome little brother, I think you’re getting more and more handsome.”
Lan Xuanyu felt a pain in his back. Somehow, Bai Xiuxiu had already arrived behind him.
As an excellent warship commander, when taking over a new warship, the first thing to do was familiarize oneself with various data of the warship. This was essential for effective command.
While Lan Xuanyu was familiarizing himself with this mimetic warship, he couldn’t help but complain inwardly. These wealthy second-generation individuals really had money to burn! Automatic piloting system, automatic positioning system, automatic targeting system, automatic locking system, automatic radar system—every system that could be completed electronically was automatic. This was undoubtedly the most automated warship Lan Xuanyu had ever seen.
However, in reality, relying solely on automation was insufficient to make a warship perform at its best during command.
Nangong Ling told him that they named this warship the Star Palace. In Lan Xuanyu’s opinion, it was more like a fool’s warship.
Even the capture net released against them earlier was decided by the mainframe after independent judgment, without much of their command. But this kind of warship had an advantage—it was too easy to pilot. It didn’t require many people to operate such a large warship effectively.
After familiarizing himself, Lan Xuanyu had Nangong Ling select a few of the wealthy second-generation individuals who were most proficient in piloting the warship. He also assigned Qian Lei, Liu Feng, Bai Xiuxiu, and Lan Mengqin to important positions. The takeover of this warship was basically completed. At the same time, they established a connection with their own warship’s information.
“Zhuohan, I’ll leave that side to you.”
Lan Xuanyu had devised a simple tactic: lure the enemy in and wait for them to fall into the trap! The Star Battle Experimental Class’s warships were responsible for attracting the enemy, while the Star Palace warship was tasked with annihilating the enemy.
The greatest advantage of the Star Palace warship lied in its abundant reserves! How abundant? The overall energy reserves, including rare metal reserves and power reactor, were approximately thirty times that of the Star Wars Experimental Class’s warship.
Yes, thirty times. It was evident how wealthy and ignorant these second-generation individuals were. The slowness of the warship’s flight wasn’t just due to its size; it also had an excessively large payload!
Lan Xuanyu asked Nangong Ling how they could transport such a massive payload, even if they obtained rare metals. Then Nangong Ling revealed to him a spatial equipment that was almost as large as the Ring of Fate. This item wasn’t projected from the real world but was purchased within the Douluo World. Lan Xuanyu didn’t bother to inquire about the cost, as it was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“We don’t understand the world of the wealthy second-generation individuals,” Lan Xuanyu silently complained in his heart.
Liu Feng went to retrieve his Skywing fighter, while everyone else became more familiar with the Star Palace warship. Meanwhile, Ding Zhuohan, with the cooperation of the Skywing fighter, went to search for opponents.
Two hours had already passed in the 72-hour trial period.
In many cases, space battle tactics didn’t need to be overly complex; effectiveness was crucial. Often, the simpler the tactic, the higher the success rate in execution because it was less prone to errors.
Lan Xuanyu and his team were facing such a situation.
Ding Zhuohan was also highly proficient in warship command. In a short time, he lured back a small fleet.
Yes, a small fleet.
One Meteor-class assault warship accompanied by two Meteorite-class reconnaissance ships. A configuration of one main ship and two subordinates.
The Star Wars Experimental Class’s warships executed various maneuvers, sliding smoothly like fish, continually evading attacks from the rear.
Inside the Star Palace warship, Nangong Ling and the other second-generation individuals were dumbfounded.
Could a warship be maneuvered like this? Wasn’t that a larger version of a fighter jet?
What on earth was this? Arcing drifts against meteorites, completely using the meteorites to block attacks from behind, followed by a quick reversal and change of direction. Rotating and descending.
